Produktbeschreibung

Design for Cultural Commoning explores the role of design-based thinking and practice in the construction of cultural common spaces. Torange Khonsari shows how the commons in the cultural domain can be a driver towards addressing a range of critical community and societal concerns, from citizen apathy and lack of trust, to extractive production of cultural objects exhausting our earth's resources and exacerbating the gap between the powerful and the powerless. A rich and engaging volume, it combines theory, methodology and practice to bridge disciplinary boundaries, from commons, urbanism, psychology, politics, anthropology and sociology, with practical design methodology.
